A prankster keeps hijacking The Wright Stuff live phone ins calling his ex a bitch. There have been lots of people joking about it on Twitter but aibu to think this is actually quite serious. There is a female victim of emotional abuse here who is getting regularly humiliated on live television by a deeply troubled man. Yet people make jokes about it. When is the abuse of women going to be taken seriously?

Yeah no it’s not funny at all

I agree, hardly a 'prank'.

If his ex is watching, I hope she reports him and this can be used as part of a harassment complaint she makes against him.

It's not funny, not a prank and I don't believe they cannot stop this person from calling in. They're using it as a way to attract viewers.

I don't think they let him on deliberately but I must admit I recognised his voice so am surprised they didn't.
